One sample Z-test TI-Inspire manual 24 Local citizens have been concerned that the reading program in the public schools may be inferior. The superintendent hires you to conduct an experiment to investigate. You set a = 0.05 (alpha level) for making your decision. You compare the reading level of current high school seniors to national reading proficient norms which are normally distributed with M = 75 and SD = 16. You administer the reading test to 100 randomly selected high school seniors in your city. The obtained mean of the sample = 72. What is your conclusion?

TI-Inspire manual 27 One sample T-tests The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the western world, despite the fact that US teens are not more sexually active than Swedish teens, Canadian teens, or British teens. The mean teenage pregnancy rate in the US is 11.85% The rates for states in the this area ( based on survey of 15-19 year olds) Arkansas 17.28% Mississippi 18.75 Louisiana 17.05% Texas 15.25% H O : There is no significant difference in the pregnancy rate of the states of Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas compared to the rest of the nation H A: There is no significant difference in the mean teenage pregnancy rate of the four states sample and the US average. Other Alternative hypothesis are of course possible.

Ha: µ > µ0 My sample is greater, bigger, etc. than the national mean Ha: µ < µ0 My sample is less smaller, etc. than the national mean
TI-Inspire manual 30 These results would be reported as There is a significant difference in the pregnancy rate of the states of Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas compared to the rest of the nation. t(3) = 7.29, p <.006. The pregnancy rate for the nation was 11.85 and for the four states in question the average was 17.05, s = 1.43
TI-Inspire manual 31 However, if you are given the mean for the data the procedure is different The average age of mothers in the US when they give birth to their first child is 25.1. x = 2.6. The average age of a sample of 200 women from the Arkansas Delta region is 21.7.

With the mean for the nation being 25.1 and the mean for the delta region of Arkansas being 21.7. Means are usually given in addition to the t scores
TI-Inspire manual 33 when the difference is significant. Two Independent Sample T-Test This t-test is used when you have two separate sample that you are comparing. (They do not have to be the same size.) Ie. Rainfall in one city to rainfall in another, female scores on a selfesteem test compared to males scores on the same test. The Inspire has a 2-Sample T-Test Enter the data for the two groups you are comparing in two, usually columns 1 & 2. Give them a title Honolulu-Average Phoenix-Average San Francisco-Average Little Rock - average month Avg. month Avg. month Avg. month Ave January 73 January 54 January 51 January 44 February 73 February 58 February 54 February 46 March 75 March 63 March 55 March 56 April 76 April 71 April 56 April 63 May 78 May 79 May 57 May 71 June 80 June 89 June 59 June 80 July 81 July 93 July 60 July 81 August 81 August 91 August 61 August 83 September 81 September 86 September 63 September 75 October 80 October 75 October 62 October 62 November 75 November 62 November 57 November 54 December 74 December 55 December 52 December 44 Ho mo Jan Feb Ma Ap Ma Jun Jul Au Sep Oc No De

TI-Inspire manual 35 Pick the two columns of data you wish to compare. Of the four in this case any two can be chosen but only at a time. Put one name in list 1 and the other in list 2. Order does not matter Choose Alternative hypothesis (Ha:) from the drop down list µ1>µ2 the first group is significantly more, faster, greater, etc. than the second group µ1<µ2 the first group is significantly less than, smaller, etc, than the second group Leave frequency alone µ1 µ2 the difference between group 1 and group 2 is not significant
TI-Inspire manual 36 Since it seems logical that Honolulu has a higher average than Little Rock choose 1 < 2 If the two standard deviations are similar (neither is more than twice of the other), use pooled t(22) = - 1.1841, p <.002 Scroll down and you find the means and Honolulu s mean = 77.25 while Little Rock s mean temperature = 63.25 Wriitten this way There was a significant difference(p <.002) in th eaverage temperatures of Little Rock and Honolulu, t(22) = -1.1841, p <.002( s= 3.2) with Honolulu mean temperature being 77.25 and Little Rocks mean = 63.25 (s = 14.65) It was said earlier to used pooled unless one standard deviation and more than 2 times which in this case it is. Repeat the statistic usign non-pooled) The result change only slightly. t(12.8) = 3.23, p <.004
TI-Inspire manual 40 Matched pairs t-test want to know if subjects have more anxiety after they watch a slasher flick or after watching the evening news. I will measure anxiety with a state anxiety scale. The higher the score the more anxiety. I will use the same subjects twice but to compensate for order effect" I will reverse the order they see the two shows Subject Slasher flick Evening news 1 4 4 2 5 7 3 3 3 4 8 9 Subject Evening news 5 5 5 6 4 7 7 3 9 8 9 7 9 2 5 Slasher flick

A known statistic you are comparing your results to./ ie. We compare the number of M&M s, by color, in a sample of bags to the number of each color the company claims on its website.
